The Human Emperor (1-200)

C194: Challenge!

In the Kunwu Training Camp, several hundred zhang away from the peak of the mountain, a middle-aged instructor stood on top of a stone with his hands behind his back.

Unlike other instructors, there were very few people around him. Most simply walked past him, headed straight for the other instructors.

However, that instructor seemed to pay this sight no heed. He simply smiled faintly as he looked on.

“Instructor, I would like to take your test.”

After an unknown period of time, an examinee suddenly walked down the mountain, up toward the instructor, and bowed respectfully.

“Heh, you should reconsider the matter. My test will be much harder than the other instructors. You would only have to face other examinees elsewhere, but here, you’ll have to battle with me.”

The instructor smiled lightly with his hands behind his back.

“Battle with… an instructor?”

The slightly lean examinee was taken aback. At the other instructors, the examinees only had to cross blows with their peers. This was the first time he was hearing that one would need to fight with an instructor.

How could an examinee be a match for an instructor? Wasn’t this test impossible to pass?

“That’s right. Not only do you have to face me, the slots I have is also much fewer than the others. If you waste time with me, you might miss out on your chance with the other instructors. Are you certain?”

The instructor said with smiling eyes.

The lean examinee was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen such a thoughtful instructor who would turn away an examinee for the examinee’s welfare.

“Tha-that.. I-I’m sorry! I’ll try somewhere else.”

With a reddened face, the examinee lowered his head and uttered a few apologies before rushing off to somewhere else.

The instructor didn’t fly into a rage either. He simply watched the departing back of the examinee with a smile.

Following which, a few other examinees also approached him and asked about the matter but all of them were persuaded into retreating eventually. Occasionally, there were a few who wanted to try their luck but they were sent flying right after the first blow. Who else would dare to approach him under such circumstances?

In the end, a long time passed but there wasn’t a single successful examinee around the instructor.

“Young Master Chong, the person you’re referring to is him?”

Around several dozen footsteps away, Zhao Jingdian glanced at the instructor and frowned.

“Un.”

Wang Chong nodded his head seriously as he stared at the instructor fixedly.

“We have been standing here for so long but I still cannot tell what he’s trying to do. This examiner is too strong, and from the looks at it, he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to accept any students at all.”

Zhao Jingdian said. The more he looked at this instructor, the more suspicious he found the other party. All of the instructors within Kunwu Training Camp, with the exception of this middle-aged man, had a few successful examinees around them, and yet, this instructor didn’t seem to be anxious at all.

“Of course he’s in no hurry. The one who should be anxious is us. Once we pass this mountain, we will miss the temple. The greatest resource that Kunwu Training Camp has to offer is him.”
